Just Another Griefer

You saw me in the shadows,
I know you must have,
the silver in the black.
You didn't know long I'd been there,
You didn't know from whence I came.
A guardian angel, arrived far too late.

They took your spirit,
but not your fight.
A stolen soul, but not a lost cause.
Even when it holds no meaning to you,
you fight on, you trek forward,
You make me see how wrong I am.

Not just another griefer,
Just another believer,
Not just another one.
Don't tell me you can make it on your own;
You need me as much as I do you.

They need you more.

(A/N: I would like to thank Fred Gallagher for MegaTokyo, particularly for Miho, whom the line "Just another griefer" is attributed to. I don't really think the poem has anything to do with the comic, though. However, depending on how you read it, it could...)

  1. i like it. i should probably re-read megatokyo though b/c i didn't even notice the miho reference until you pointed it out in the end. i don't want to say it sounds pretty, because it doesn't. that wouldn't be the right word for what it is. so i'll just stick with i like it. which reminds me of a story. next time we talk as me to tell you the amanda-"i like it" story. ...ick. sorry this came out to be so long.
